Joshi effect under pulsed illumination

Abstract

The results of the variation of discharge current under pulsed illumination are presented, and their bearing on the underlying mechanism is pointed out.

Protein folding as a nonlinear nonequilibrium thermodynamic process

“…Similar opinion is expressed by T.E.Creighton [10] and A.R.Fersht: "The elucidation of the rules that govern folding is a great unsolved problem, for it is not yet possible to calculate de novo the pathway of folding, or even whether a known structure is stable" [11]. In fact, several new recently proposed schemes and improvements including the hydrophobic collapse model [16][17][18][19], the framework model [20][21][22] and the molten globule [23][24][25] initially suggested by M.Ohgushi and A.Wada [26] apparently have not brought about a better understanding of the problem_ The gravest obstacle is a search of the global energy minimum on multidimensional potential surface of a protein. Solution of this task will give birth to a method which would allow to calculate (starting only from a known amino acid sequence) the geometry of the global conformation from enormous, practically infinite number of structural variants each of which, in its turn, consists of many energetically preferable and in this respect equivalent conformational states of single amino acid residues.…”

Electro-optical diagnosis of a TE N2laser

“…According to the empirical formula or the theory based on the rate process, the probability P in equation ( 2) can be put in the form (Chotia 1970)…”
